How It Works
We Send You a Practice Test
You’ll receive a physical practice test in the mail the week leading up to your online proctored practice test. We’ll also email you instructions for logging into the virtual testing room.
Meet Your Online Proctor
On test day, you’ll log into the online testing room and meet your proctor. He or she will greet you and begin the test. Move through the sections according to the proctor’s directions.
Send Your Test in for Grading
At the end of the test, your proctor will give you instructions to submit your test for grading. Once received, we’ll dismiss you and send your score report as soon as it’s available.
